What a sad sight to see all of these impressive flying machines covered and stored :(, seen here 5 A380s (from nearest to farthest: A7-APJ, A7-APG, A7-APA, A7-API, and A7-APH), one Qatar Amiri 747-8i (although it is not stored, but it was a nice surprise to see it parked that day beside them), a number of A320s (mainly the CFM powered ones that were destined to go to Al Maha airways, and does not feature IFE), two A330s and a brand new 787-9

An eerie scene with empty halls and silent escalators inside the old Qatar Airways "Premium Terminal" at Doha International Airport, which was closed to flights in 2014 as everything moved across to the new Hamad International

What a nice surprise to see this Russian Tu-204 at Doha

As a result of the now-solved dispute between Qatar Airways and Airbus that resulted initially in the cancellation of Qatar’s A321 neo order, then in the delay of delivering the planes after reinstating the order following the settlement of the dispute, Qatar Airways turned to the rival, Boeing, which had some Russian S7 MAX 8s ready to be taken up due to the sanctions placed on Russia that was caused by its invasion of Ukraine, and they (Qatar Airways) picked them up and got the delivery of two so far (by the time of uploading this photo)

Our speeds were almost perfectly matched as our tracks converged just before entering US airspace

We slowly overtook this A340 operating 2000ft above us, as we approached the Iraq border
